Abstract
Background
A high number of patients do not survive primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS), even when assisted with intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counterpulsation. There is no accepted consensus on who may most benefit from IABP counterpulsation, although previous retrospective studies have reported predictors of survival for patients undergoing PCI and cardiac surgery. To date, a risk model for emergency primary PCI patients has not been ascertained. The objective of this study was to identify independent predictors for in-hospital survival, to create a standardized risk model to predict patients who may require IABP insertion during primary PCI.
Method
Retrospective data were from 165 patients who had undergone primary PCI with IABP due to CS complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI), from September 2007 to 2010, and underwent logistic regression analysis, to evaluate the incremental risk factors associated with survival.
Results
The overall in-hospital mortality was 32.1% (53 patients). The incremental independent predictors for in-hospital survival were: patient age of less than 60 years (OR: 0.303, 95% CI: 0.11 - 0.83, P < 0.02) and the use of IABP support alone, as opposed to in adjunction with inotropic support (OR: 3.177, 95% CI: 1.159 - 8.708, P < 0.025).
Conclusion
This study illustrated an age of less than 60 years, and the use of IABP alone, to be independent predictors of in-hospital survival in patients with CS complicating AMI who undergo primary PCI assisted by IABP. No specific risk model could be determined.
